This was just posted over at the new ThankGodImFamous.com. Kobe Bryant is constantly critiqued for being selfish and cocky, but most champions are. To prove a point, one of the bloggers at TGIF put together a list of 25 quotes from the book The Jordan Rules to prove that the Jumpman wasn’t exactly a humble, selfless guy. An excerpt:
“I Hope There’s A Jumpshot In There.” – Michael To Stacey King Who Was Walking Into The Locker Room With A Box
“They Don’t Need A Ticket To Watch You Sitting On The Bench. They Can Go To Your House For That.” – Michael To Charles Davis Who Was Sorting Through His Tickets For His Family And Friends
“Give Me The ******* Ball.” – Michael To Doug Collins Who Drew Up A Play For Dave Corzine
“I Hate When I Have To Read That In The Papers The Next Day, That I Couldn’t Do Something. It Wasn’t My Fault.”
I don’t agree with all of the quotes used, but I definitely agree that No. 23 had his moments. I think that a lot of champions are like that, though: they go for the jugular at all times, because that’s what’s often required to win. For the rest of the quotes, CLICK HERE.
